In fall and spring we celebrate the outdoors with our youngest friends! We'll gather to greet the day, share a few seasonal songs and verses, and then set off on a nature walk at a slow and curious pace. We'll witness the beauty of the forest, and make sure there is ample time for play and conversation.
This is not a drop-off class and children must attend with a caregiver who shares their love of the outdoors.
This afternoon together is a great way to build an early connection to nature in the company of like-minded families. While each class has a consistent structure and pace, we are intentionally casual and encourage children to follow their curiosity and proceed at their own style. Class size is limited to 10 children. (Infant siblings welcome at no additional cost.)

Dress: We will meet rain or shine in all but extreme weather. Light-colored long pants that can get dirty and rain/mud boots are required. We also suggest long sleeves and dress in layers as spring afternoons can become cool. In case of rain, wear a hat and rain jacket! (Umbrellas are not practical.)
Snacks: We invite you to bring healthy snacks and water for your child. We will not have a group snack time, though your child is free to eat and drink any time as needed.
Missed Classes: We do not offer refunds for classes you miss, nor do we allow drop-ins. While we strive to be as accommodating as possible, we also believe continuity in participation builds an important sense of community and makes for a higher quality learning experience for our children and their families.
Weather Cancellations: If there is excessively unpleasant weather forecasted, we will cancel class and not make it up. In the unlikely event we must cancel two or more classes, we will credit the missed class fee towards a future program.
